6/14: Women’s Back & Abs Workout – NEW!

women's back workoutToday I did a brand new back and abs workout that I got out of the May/June 2010 issue of Muscle and Fitness Hers. It’s actually part 2 of the workout I started a little over a month ago except for now I workout 5 days/week, the reps have changed from 15, 12, 10 to 10, 8, 6 and there are some new exercises as well.

Back Workout

Wide-grip Pull-ups (assisted)

  • 1 set x 10 reps
  • 1 set x 8 reps
  • 1 set x 6 reps

Seated Rows

  • 1 set x 10 reps, 60#
  • 1 set x 8 reps, 65#
  • 1 set x 6 reps, 70#

Dumbbell Pullovers

  • 1 set x 10 reps, 15#
  • 1 set x 8 reps, 20#
  • 1 set x 6 reps, 25#

Ab workout

Plank

  • 3 sets x 30 seconds each

V-sit

  • 3 sets x 30 seconds each

*The V-sits were incredibly hard for me as I haven’t ever done them before. They involve balancing on your tailbone for 30 seconds with you legs and arms out forming a V shape. You can bend your knees for a modified version but even then I couldn’t balance. I bet it looked super awesome! Not. :)

Have a great night!

All the best,

Melinda

    I think that’s a great workout for a pull day. I’ve put in some similar workouts in The 6 Week Workout Program. It’s great to see what someone knowledgeable is doing on a regular basis!
